The Evil Dead franchise is back and gorier than ever with the long-awaited release of Evil Dead Rise. Evil Dead Rise takes the action to a Los Angeles apartment building. Despite leaving the woods behind, Evil Dead Rise has all the blood, violence, and chainsaws that Evil Dead fans have come to expect from this series. Evil Dead Rise has been a big hit at the box office, making back its budget in its opening weekend alone, and on top of that, it’s been well-received by critics. But Evil Dead is a beloved horror franchise – almost every previous entry is a classic of the genre – so where does Evil Dead Rise rank in comparison to its blood-soaked predecessors?
